Operation And Maintenance - GRAPHITE 58G486 Instrucciones De Uso

● When cutting perpendicular to fibres of material (wood), fibres tend to lift up and tear off (moving the
saw slowly minimizes this effect).
● Ensure the lower guard reaches its extreme position.
● Before starting to cut always ensure that cutting depth locking lever and knob for base bevel adjustment
are tightened firmly.
● With the circular saw use only cutting blades with correct arbour hole and outer diameter.
● Processed material must be firmly fixed.
● Place wider part of the saw base on the part of the material, which is not cut off.
If the object is small, fix the processed material with F-clamps. If the circular saw base does not move
on the processed material, but is lifted instead, there is danger of kick back.
Properly fixed processed material and firm hold of the tool ensure full control over power tool
operation. This allows to avoid risk of body injury. Do not try to hold short pieces of material with
your hand.
BEVEL CUTTING
● Loosen the knob for base bevel adjustment (17) (fig. C).
● Use the scale to set the saw base to appropriate angle (from 0
● Tighten the knob for base bevel adjustment (17).
Remember that for bevel cutting the risk of kick back is greater (pinching of cutting blade more
probable), therefore it is particularly important that the saw base lies on the processed material with
its whole surface. Perform cutting with smooth move.
MAKING A CUT BY CUTTING INTO MATERIAL
Disconnect the saw from power supply before starting any adjustments.
● Set desired cutting depth that matches thickness of material planned to be cut.
● Tilt the saw so the front edge of the saw base lies on the cut material and 0
cutting is in the line of planned cutting.
● When the saw is in the place to start cutting, lift the lower guard (9) with the lower guard lever (3) (cutting
blade is lifted above the material).
● Switch the power tool on and wait until cutting blade reaches its full rotational speed.
● Gradually lower the saw and sink the cutting blade in material (during this move front edge of the saw
base should have contact with surface of the material).
● When the blade starts cutting release the lower guard.
● When whole surface of the saw base rests on the material, move the saw forward to proceed with cutting.
● Never move the saw backwards when the blade is rotating, there is danger of kick back.
● Finish cutting in reverse order it was started, by turning the saw around line of contact of the processed
material and front edge of the tool base.
● Before removing blade from the material, allow it to stop after switching the saw off.
● Finish the process with reciprocating saw or hand saw when necessary.
CUTTING OR CUTTING OFF LARGE PIECES OF MATERIAL
When cutting large boards of material support them to avoid potential blade hitch (kick back) due
to pinching the blade in material kerf.
● Support the panel or board close to the place of cutting.
● Ensure the cutting blade settings guarantee that work bench or support will not be damaged during cutting.
Unplug the power cord from the mains socket before commencing any activities related to
installation, adjustment, repair or maintenance.
● Keep the ventilation holes of the saw body pervious with no deposition of dust. All adjustment parts of the
saw should also be clean. Clean them with brush when necessary. The most effective cleaning is with the
use of compressed air. Wear anti-splinter goggles and protective mask always when using compressed air.
Do not clean ventilation holes by inserting sharp objects there, such as screwdrivers and alike.
